Are you using the recommended SD card? 2gb, fullsize SD and formatted FAT32 (avoid "format quick").

Holy Crap!! it worked who knew size mattered :P
My 1GB gave me problems so I used a 2GB and Totally Formatted the SD card to FAT32 and all WADS are reading perfectly

Guys, i already bought a softmodded 4.2 wii an it is severely outdated and i think the only cIOS installed is the 222 hermes one. I bought a HD hitachi x320 and managed to play metroid prime 3 but it freezes after 50 40 minutes of play. I think the problem lies in the brand of the HD or the lack of updates. Using Uloader. I'm also severely lost of where to start to update everything in my wii since i have no idea what's already installed. And i'm scared of following the guide and reinstalling things i should not like the WADS and so on. I thought of using Pimp my wii but after reading the warnings of people here i kinda gave up.

So...should i use the IOS updater and cIOS updater even despite some things might be missing in my wii? OR should i start from chapter 2 and re do everything?

I removed it as a last ditch effort, as iv'e been struggling with a softmod that didn't work properly for the last month, and have tried everything under the sun trying to get it to work, with a lot of help from people on this forum. I'm aware that this might not work, but i can't stand the fact that my softmoding efforts failed, if i atleast didn't try exactly everything.

(Edit) I tried deleting both 58 & 61, but neither of them seemed to delete (both are still yellow, and they should turn white right?)
And trying to install in WAD manager still failed after the delete attempt.

Thinking about it. Because you virginized you are probably ok to skip this step and just install HBC and Bootmii without installing those 2 because you will have versions on your system that got installed when you did the virginizing.

Hi. While following the guide (everything went OK, no errors came out), it seems I downgraded my System Menu to 4.1E from 4.3E. Is there any safe way of getting back to 4.3E? I'm asking because since I've used this guide (I've used another guide before, the complete softmod guide) my TV says it's using NTSC instead of PAL for games and they appear funky... I can't really describe it but it's not a perfect picture.

Firstly, 4.2 and 4.3 were homebrew killers, nothing more. 4.1 is where you should stay. Second, check the video settings in your loader. That is where you can set the video output type.

You are semi bricked - Re install the sm from this guide again and make sure the pack is correct for your region... But remember when you re install the sm it will wipe out priiloader so that needs to be installed again before you restart the wii.

Hey all! I've been going through the guide trying to softmod my 4.2j, and I'm stuck on the SD Card screen. I have MMM-58-61-Hackmii_0.8_BB2.zip extracted on the card right now, and on the SD Card screen, there's a channel with a question mark on it, and when I click OK, the loading symbol appears and disappears real quick, and I'm left on that screen again. When I tried the alternate versions, it just froze during loading. Any ideas? I used the panasonic formater too.
